Obama’s Plan To Destroy ISIS: Hurt Their Feelings

It seems like President Barack Hussein Obama gives some variation on the same speech whenever Islamic terrorists shed innocent blood. Just because it never works, that’s no reason to switch things up in the last few months of his administration.

Here’s the Greatest President in American History, speaking in Argentina today about the Brussels attack:

“We defeat them in part by saying, ‘You are not strong. You are weak.’ We send a message to those who might be inspired by them, to say, ‘You are not going to change our values of liberty and openness and respect of all people.'”

Also: Boston Strong.

That’s nice and all, but I’m not sure how it’s going to stop ISIS. Or ISIL. Or whatever he wants to call them. They’re not Internet trolls, man. They’re not just going to go away if you ignore them. That approach hasn’t worked for the past 8 years, Barry, which is why reality keeps overtaking you on your victory lap.

Yeah, Bin Laden’s dead. Awesome. It helped you get reelected, but it hasn’t stopped even more senseless carnage from these psychos. They’re not listening to you. They’re never going to listen to you, no matter how calm and measured you sound. Listening is not what they do.

You don’t defeat an enemy by telling him he’s weak, Mr. President. You defeat him by weakening him. Anything else is just… this.
